Long story short: While the thread itself may have been carried by some from the perspective of their characters, the notion behind it and the manner in which it was conducted was farce. While I can and do appreciate the humor behind it, the RP section is one of the few sanctified sections of the discovery forum.
Just because this thread is no longer within that section of the forum, it is not cheapened nor diminished in its content nor message.
If you feel that this move is improper, or should be considered a very serious internet, feel free to request from another moderator or member of the admin team that it be moved back.
